PU Flip Game

Jan 01, 1970

You are playing the following Flip Game with your friend: Given a string that contains only these two characters: + and -, you and your friend take turns to flip two consecutive "++" into "--". The game ends when a person can no longer make a move and therefore the other person will be the winner.

Write a function to compute all possible states of the string after one valid move.

For example, given s = "++++", after one move, it may become one of the following states:

[
  "--++",
  "+--+",
  "++--"
]

If there is no valid move, return an empty list [].

Python Solution:

class Solution(object):
    def generatePossibleNextMoves(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: List[str]
        """
        return [s[:i] + '--' + s[i + 2:] for i in range(len(s) - 1) if s[i] == '+' and s[i + 1] == '+']
